  • Katalog Zur Ausstellung "60 Jahre Marvel
    Liebe Kulturfreund*innen, bereits seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs befasst sich das Amerikahaus München mit US- amerikanischer Kultur. Als US-amerikanische Behörde war es zunächst für seine Bibliothek und seinen Lesesaal bekannt. Doch schon bald wurde das Programm des Amerikahauses durch Konzerte, Filmvorführungen und Vorträge ergänzt. Im Jahr 1957 zog das Amerika- haus in sein heutiges charakteristisches Gebäude ein und ist dort, nach einer vierjährigen Generalsanierung, seit letztem Jahr wieder zu finden. 2014 gründete sich die Stiftung Bay- erisches Amerikahaus, deren Träger der Freistaat Bayern ist. Heute bietet das Amerikahaus der Münchner Gesellschaft und über die Stadt- und Landesgrenzen hinaus ein vielfältiges Programm zu Themen rund um die transatlantischen Beziehungen – die Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada und Lateinamerika- und dem Schwerpunkt Demokratie an. Unsere einladenden Aus- stellungräume geben uns die Möglichkeit, Werke herausragender Künstler*innen zu zeigen. Mit dem Comicfestival München verbindet das Amerikahaus eine langjährige Partnerschaft. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir mit der Ausstellung „60 Jahre Marvel Comics Universe“ bereits die fünfte Ausstellung im Rahmen des Comicfestivals bei uns im Haus zeigen können. In der Vergangenheit haben wir mit unseren Ausstellungen einzelne Comickünstler, wie Tom Bunk, Robert Crumb oder Denis Kitchen gewürdigt. Vor zwei Jahren freute sich unser Publikum über die Ausstellung „80 Jahre Batman“. Dieses Jahr schließen wir mit einem weiteren Jubiläum an und feiern das 60-jährige Bestehen des Marvel-Verlags. Im Mainstream sind die Marvel- Helden durch die in den letzten Jahren immer beliebter gewordenen Blockbuster bekannt geworden, doch Spider-Man & Co. gab es schon lange davor. Das Comic-Heft „Fantastic Four #1“ gab vor 60 Jahren den Startschuss des legendären Marvel-Universums.

  • PDF Free Rip Kirby Volume 1
    Register Free To Download Files | File Name : Rip Kirby Volume 1 PDF RIP KIRBY VOLUME 1 Tapa dura 1 diciembre 2009 Author : Alex Raymond Descripcin del productoCrticas"A treasure not to be missed." --ScoopBiografa del autorAlex Raymond (1909-1956) is regarded, with Milton Caniff and Hal Foster, as one of the three giants of newspaper adventure strip artists. Raymond apprenticed with Chic Young on Blondie, and Lymon Young on Tim Tyler's Luck. The year 1934 was a major turning point in his career: he illustrated X- 9, a new detective comic strip written by Dashiell Hammett, and then created Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim. Rip Kirby, created in 1946, signaled a grand departure, both thematically and artistically, from the science fiction classic. He promulgated a new art style--one of cinematic photo-realism--that influenced such artists as Stan Drake, Leonard Starr, Al Williamson, and Neal Adams. Great art, good printing IDW produced another great book, beautifully crafted, with an interesting essay on Alex Raymond and Rip Kirby. Every effort was made to find the best sources for the dailies: it's a pity that they are not - apparently - syndicated proofs; very few are from original art (the first week and some others); the bulk is made of pretty good reproductions, some from second generation sources; some are not so good... I wonder: where are the KFS proofs?Forgive my English Five Stars Presenting the first volume of Alex Raymond's modernist classic Rip Kirby from its start in 1946. Created by Alex Raymond when he was deactivated from the Marines after World War II, Rip Kirby was a fresh approach to the genre, a departure from the prevailing hard-boiled style of detective fiction.

His work on The Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonsons work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This first volume begins the collection of Simonsons epic run - completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliff !COLLECTING: THOR 337-345 I was absolutely thrilled to find the Walter Simonson story arcs in a graphic novels. When I was growing up I would eagerly rush to the local comic shop to buy the latest releases. When Simonson began his run on the Mighty Thor. I was totally blown away with both the quality of the art work and the writing of the book.

Solid package with no extrasBy Christian HartmanWhile the collection is complete (including each cover), I knocked off a star for the total lack of introductory material on the characters, the production of the title, or Fritz Leiber. The book is printed on cheap(ish) paper but the coloring looks authentic as does the artwork (ie: not overly digitally enhanced). If you are a fan of 70's era SS or of Leiber's originals you should be happy with this collection.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fun adventuresBy Joseph M.

ISBN: 978-1-4742-2634-9 3 Katherine Marazi 4 Despite the ubiquity and current overabundance of superhero productions, academic publications and courses on superheroes are not as widespread. Fortunately, over the past decade traditional and online MOOC courses focused on superheroes as well as academic publications resulting from either conferences or individual research have grown in numbers and importance. One such publication, Chris Gavaler’s Superhero Comics, aims to historically and thematically inform readers on the form, contexts and genre of superhero comics. Beginning with “What is a superhero comic?” a question most readers today may feel fairly confident in answering, Gavaler provides a historic and thematic account of just how complex the answer to this question is. 5 Gavaler adopts a genre approach focusing on “the tradition of superheroes in superhero comics” whilst examining “pre-comics characters to the extent that they maintain a defining influence on their comics descendants” (2). Terminology is insufficient in fully understanding what comics are.
